Tried verifying the game cache?

No, how do you do that ?

Check the default graphics settings for the game. That's caused me way too many crashes. And definitely verify the game cache or installation media if you can.

1. Load Steam
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
4. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
5. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.

You could try what is suggested here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/8870/discussions/0/864974880526378837/

 

Also found this: 

 

• You may be blocking the Steamworks authentication, which can be solved by turning off anti-spyware/malware programs, or connecting to Steam in Offline Mode
• You may have a video card driver issue, so be sure to head to nvidia.com or amd.com to download the newest drivers.
• [uPDATE - 04/10] Please try following the instructions below for adding a launch option to your game.
  • In your Steam Library, right click the game and select “Properties”, then “Set Launch Options…”
  • Add “-windowed” or “-fullscreenwindowed”  (only choose one, ignore the quotes), then select “OK”.
  • This will not fix the issue to play in fullscreen mode, but should allow you to play in windowed.
